I’m looking for a paid cloud storage provider (like google drive, but not google drive) which is privacy minded, so with features like e2e encryption. I’ve been using Jottacloud to backup my large collection of photos. Jottacloud has been satisfactory, but I’ve heard other users complain of incomplete backups, where certain files are just missing. That makes me a little bit nervous, so I’m looking for something else. Does anyone of you know a good provider?

    This is terrible advice if you even somewhat care about data loss, security, and syncing up content on many devices.

        In form of data backup you should follow the 3 2 1 rule, which involves off-site backups, which is cloud storage. If you plan on accessing anything out of the house, that involves self hosting which means exposing your devices to the greater internet. Each thing you expose is now a new service that needs constant maintenance and potential security issues, not including everything you may misconfigure. That’s a lot of security issues for a regular person. You also need to self host these things if you want to sync real time between your devices, which is also important for backups.
